Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a government buyer pays on time?
TenderWin scores each buyer with a 'will they pay?' indicator built from public data: the latest Auditor-General opinion for council, and Department of Finance 30-day supplier-payment performance and ANAO PGPA Act outcomes for departments and state-owned entities. Pick a buyer below to see its score.
Why does payment risk matter for a tender?
Winning a tender means nothing if you deliver and then wait 120 days to be paid — many SMEs fail on cash flow, not lost bids. Knowing the buyer's payment record lets you price the risk, arrange bridging finance, or walk away.
Is this a credit rating?
No. It is a transparent indicator from public audit and payment data, meant to inform your bid/no-bid decision — not a formal credit assessment.
